2011 NFL Free Agency-Part 3

Tommie Harris to the Colts is interesting, just a couple of years ago he was arguably the most sought after 4-3 DT in the league. Now he's kind of an afterthought

Injuries and poor performance can do that to a player. It's unfortunate but he's a few years removed from his heyday.

The Redskins might...might, might, might, be able to get a second round pick from Oakland for Fred Davis. If they act quick.

This made me think about an interesting question. Who, at this day and age, would people rather trade away: Cooley or Davis? No question we have a surplus at TE. Cooley is getting up there in age and hasn't been injury-proof in recent years. And I think we could get a better price for Cooley than Davis anyways.

I'd trade Davis to Oakland for Louis Murphy

To me it's a no brainer, stick with youth, get rid of Cooley. Keep Davis. Buy low, sell high. I know he is a fan favorite, but we can get some value to move up to get in the right position for our future quarterback.

Why in the hell would we do that? Absolutely not, Fred Davis is a beast.

You'd do it because he'll be playing for someone else next year.

Cooley would be the better trade piece...but Oakland can't fit him under their 2011 cap.

Dude, for a second rounder? In a heartbeat. With all the qb's coming out next year we can use that pick to possibly move up. Best idea GTripp has ever had.......plus Logan Paulson Is no slouch.

The alternative is Kevin Boss or Bo Scaife?

[That Guy]

Following a similar theme the Colts have also added Jamaal Anderson and Ernie Sims. They are going to run the Second Chance Defense.

Have to both make it backloaded for cap friendly-ness, and outbid NYG, who are also without a starting TE under contract. Doubt they get him.

Scaife would be the blandest option ever, but seems like the only other choice is a trade.
